The Taxi

Well here are some pics of the yellow thing I call my daily driver. Not bad for $2600. Something to mess around in till I can get the Cougars Running.






Poor Poor Cougar

Yeah. I bought it used with 106,000 miles. It was my dads company vehicle. Wm Wrigley Jr. Co. You all know as the Wrigley Gum company. Juicy Fruit, Big Red, Winterfresh, etc. I know for a fact that its been taken care of. I did some mods to her. If you count putting on the front tag holder, and an illuminated hitch cover. That Reese hitch was a SOB to put on. All by myself.

Haha. Have you saw that Really nice 88 Bird. Its a goldish tan driven by an elderly woman. She hardly drives it. Its NICE. Only thing wrong is the front bumper trim has rubbed a little off to the yellow, and SHE SMOKES. IN IT. I wanna ask her how much for it.

4wd was included. It has the 3.0L V6, Power windows, locks, mirrors, 4wd, CD/Tape, Upgraded to 17" Aluminum Alloy Wheels. Pretty much everything but foglights and power seats or rear heat, overhead console. Minor things. Turned over 107,000 miles today.

Yeah, actually I have talked to him, but didnt realize it was him. Nice car, minus the ghetto hubcaps. I cant complain, they look better than mine. He works at Gastons right?

I dont know dude Ive never actually talked to him just seen him at the library here and there. next time you talk to him you should mention this site to him. or if I ever actually get a chance to talk to him I will I never see him somewhere where I can actually have a conversation though its usually just in passing. dude you should drop by sometime.
